Bodies are portrayed as both the sites containing our innermost feelings and as the façades we present to the outside world. Images of inhabited space serve as a corollary to the body-themed show. These images range from a gentleman’s club to the bedrooms of women seeking a private space and from suburban dystopia to urban landscapes of isolation. The curators explain that the emphasis on the locations of bodies “shows how we consider space an extension of ourselves.”

Curated by Marina Berio, Chair of the General Studies in Photography Program, and Alison Morley, Chair of the Documentary Photography & Photojournalism Program, the exhibition contains photographs, videos, multimedia, and web projects that represent a small sample of the work created by each of the students during the year-long programs. The variety of styles is a testimony to each student’s unique voice.
